House Engrossed

Overview

Prohibits a municipality or county from requiring a business permit or license for a person who is under 19 years old and who operates the business occasionally. Exempts the qualified person's business from obtaining a Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) license if the business makes less than $10,000 in a calendar year.

History

Every person who receives gross proceeds of sales or gross income on which TPT is imposed and who desires to engage or continue in business must apply to the Department of Revenue for an annual TPT license accompanied by a fee of $12. A person cannot engage or continue in business until the person has obtained a TPT license (A.R.S. § 42-5005).

A common council, within the limits of the municipality may: 1) fix the amount of license taxes to be paid by a person, firm, corporation or association for carrying on any business; 2) fix penalties for failure to comply; and 3) authorize clerks to issue and direct the manner of issuing and registering licenses (A.R.S. § 9-240).

a) operated by a person who is under 19 years old; and
